Akaunting

In Akaunting, open your dashboard, set your fiscal year, and in ten minutes you can issue your first invoice. Add customers or import them from a CSV, design a branded template, and select payment methods. Turn on recurring schedules for retainers or subscriptions, attach files, and apply late fees. Share invoices through a secure self‑service portal where clients can view, download, and pay several bills at once. Aging lists, reminders, partial payments, and write‑offs are automated, so you spend less time chasing and more time delivering.

On the payables side, forward receipts to a unique inbox or drop PDFs to have bills created for you. Tag them to categories, vendors, projects, and tax codes, then route them through approval steps. Queue payments, create purchase orders, and record vendor credits. Connect your bank to pull transactions, then match them with invoices and bills using rules you define. Reconciliation takes minutes with suggested matches and bulk actions. Every entry retains its source document and a full audit trail, which keeps month‑end tidy and reviewable.

Build a cash plan by setting budgets per department or project and tracking actuals against targets. Multi‑currency support lets you bill abroad and settle in local money while capturing exchange gains and losses. Configure sales tax, VAT, or GST once and see what you owe before filing. If you run payroll, define calendars, earnings, and deductions; journals post automatically and paystubs publish to employees. Need to defer income? Set recognition schedules so revenue lands in the right periods without spreadsheets.

For project‑based teams, capture time and expenses against jobs, convert estimates to invoices, and measure profit by project. Track equipment with a fixed‑asset register, run depreciation, and record disposals when you sell or retire items. Standard reports—profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow—are ready out of the box with filters for date, entity, and segment; pin custom views to a dashboard. Invite your accountant with role‑based access, work in any of 49 languages, run batch updates, and export data anytime. Granular permissions and detailed logs ensure only people you invite can see financial data, and because it’s online, your books stay current wherever you work.
